[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused what the problem is. She does her homework and classwork well and completely and has a healthy social life. What else do you want her to do? When she gets to high school, encourage her to join a couple clubs.[/quote] I think I’m not explaining the problem well. I have this fear that even though she is smart she is not motivated to learn and does not have intellectual curiosity. She does her schoolwork because she thinks that’s what she is supposed to do, not that she enjoys the learning. I think she is also a little competitive so she wants to get good grades. She is smart, but without curiosity or motivation I’m worried that she won’t go far and won’t find her passion. What is she going to do later in life when she doesn’t have to do school work? Her current school has clubs and activities: math club, debate, theater, etc. She refuses to do any and I fear this will continue in high school. [/quote]
